Hardwave Arpeggiator for Ableton Live
A Max for Live MIDI Device for Transforming Chords into Melodic Phrases
From Harmony to Motion
Hardwave Arpeggiator turns held chords into flowing melodic lines with character and variation. Originally built with Wave and Hardwave aesthetics in mind, it now opens up creative phrasing possibilities for any producer working in bass-driven or melody-focused electronic music.
Pattern Logic That Feels Composed
The built-in patterns do more than repeat notes. They introduce contour and space, allowing you to create riffs that feel intentional and alive. These are not mechanical sequences—they move like something performed.
Shape Every Phrase with Duration and Rotation
Adjust Duration to sculpt how much space lies between notes, helping each phrase breathe. Use Rotation to shift the pattern’s entry point, allowing subtle transformations or bold variations without changing your chord.
Instant Results, Deep Control
Hardwave Arpeggiator invites hands-on exploration. Play a chord, tweak a few dials, and hear a melody emerge. It’s about improvising with structure, where harmony serves as a launchpad for rhythmic and melodic shape.
Melodic Energy for All Electronic Genres
Whether you make atmospheric intros, emotional builds, or energetic drops, this tool helps you generate melodic material that connects with listeners and cuts through the mix. It’s especially powerful for producers who value phrasing and musical motion in their tracks.
